Smart Women In Meetings 2020 Entrepreneur Awards

This week, Smart Meetings announced their 2020 Smart Women Awards. Soundings Connect is excited to announce that Tracy Judge has received a 2020 Entrepreneur Award! This award recognizes innovative, original thinkers who have launched their own company or brand. These women have paved their own way to success and they reach for new opportunities every chance they get, like true trendsetters and trail blazers!

The quest to be our highest and best selves is never an escalator ride straight to the top. As women work to elevate their careers, their peers and the industry as a whole, the path often requires detours, taking a step back, evaluating obstacles in the way and calling on others to help chart a new course.

- JT Long, Smart Meetings
